Prescription Running Glasses? (lemmy.world)

So I have found some swimming pool googles with some generic prescription that is close enough to my day-to-day glasses that are good enough to make sure I don’t hit anything or anyone while swimming.

I can’t, however, find a similar solution for running. I rather not use contact lenses or my daily glasses for running so not asking for solutions like that.

Do you know of any generic glasses for sports/running that offer prescription lenses in some generic prescription? Thanks!

I suspect there are a few reasons the market for cycling is bigger:

The importance of being able to see is much higher. Before I got Lasik, I would just take my glasses off when running. I could see well enough to stay on the path and avoid other runners or walkers. Being able to see and react quickly is just more important on the bike.
Even normal-sighted cyclists frequently wear glasses for UV/sun protection and as a wind screen.
